PATENT HENRY M. GOODMAN, OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-FOURTHTO ALBERTO BAKER, OF SAME PLACE.

SASH-FASTEN ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,091, dated May 2'7,1890.

Application filed December 23, 1889. Serial No. 334,640. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY M. GOODMAN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State ofKentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CombinedSash Locks and Lifters; and I do declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in lo the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to lettersof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

I 5 Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention, andis partly a front View and partly a vertical section. Fig. 2 is avertical section taken where the broken line 93 cc is marked on Fig. 1.

This invention has relation to combined window-sash lifters and locks;and it consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, ashereinafter set forth.

The object of the invention is to facilitate 2 5 the lifting andunlocking of window-sashes in their frames bymeans of a handle or lift,and to lock the sash at the desired point by means of the same handle,as more fully described farther on.

0 I11 the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the bottom railof the sash, at or about the center of which rail is secured anescutcheon or seat 13, in which is hung in suitable bearings andparallel with the sash-rail 5 a handle or lift O, having journals orextensions D D. The journal D, which is longer than the other, connectsinternally with a bolt V by means of its extremity, which is threaded orprovided with a cam (Z to engage the in- 0 ternally-threaded cavity (1of the said main bolt. At the opposite extremity the main bolt is alsoprovided with a cavity, which is closed by a cap I), which is centrallyperforated to re ceive the horizontal shaft of a latch bolt or rod G.This latch-rod is provided within the cavity mentioned with a head 0 tosecure it in position, and near its outer end with a collar 6. Betweenthe latter and the cap Z) a spiral or coiled spring is drawn around thelatch-rod to permit the retraction of the latter within the main bolt asthe sash is raised, and also to preserve its proper horizontal relativeposition with said main bolt. This coiled spring on the latch-bolt alsocauses the latter to shoot into the sockets a: of the window-frame asthey are' respectively reached in raising and lowering the sash.

The journal or extension D of the handle is controlled by a suitablespring g, the object of which is to return and secure the said handle toits seat in its closed or normal position after the act of raising orlowering the sash has ceased, as shown. As the handle or lift is raisedfrom its bed in the escutcheon, the cam or thread on the longerextension D engages the internally-threaded end of the main bolt, andthe latter, with all of its parts, is withdrawn from engagement with thesockets x in the window-frame.

It is obvious that when the movement of the handle is reversed the boltwill cause its end latch to engage the sockets in the win dowframe andsuspend the sash at the height selected.

hat I claim as new is 1. A sash-pull having a lateral extension havingat its extremitya thread or cam to engage the adjacent threaded cavityof a bolt provided at the opposite end with a cavity in which isoperated an auxiliary short bolt with its spring, substantially as shownand described.

2. In a sash-lock, the main bolt having an auxiliary latch-bolt,constructed as described and working in the interior of the former atone end by means of its surrounding spring,

in combination with a lift or pull hung by journals in suitable bearingson the bottom rail, one of said journals being extended to engagethethreaded cavity of the main bolt, and the other or shorter end beingcontrolled by a suitable spring for returning the pull or lift to itsnormal closed position, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
